Flashpoint! Protest Photography in Print Reading Room at Contact Photography Festival

Flashpoint!, a reading room exhibition focusing on protest photography in print, presents a global selection of photobooks, zines, posters, pamphlets, independent journals and alternative newspapers that address protest and resistance from the 1950s to the present. Through its reflection of numerous cultural and regional perspectives, Flashpoint! offers an opportunity to experience the lives of others, grapple with complex societal issues, and shape conversations that challenge norms and inspire positive and respectful discourse. Based on a 2024 anthology of the same title, the Flashpoint! Reading Room is organized by 10×10 Photobooks, a New York City-based nonprofit with a mission to support the global photobook community.
